1st pair of Js I ever owned got for Christmas 98 , I was ecstatic going back to school after the break and then said okay the hype is over and wore them the rest of Basketaball season that year I was 13 in 8th grade and balled out all year in these , these are dear to my heart my favorite all time Jordan
Balled out in 98 your a oldhead/OG? Well i got news for you their being retro’d again this november later this year (2024). Now im new to sneakers but bro hope you get to cop em.
On point with the review Chris. You pointed out the red on the heel and on the OG it's a darker color. Almost like a burgundy. Same with the jumpman on the shank and the XIV hit at the forefoot.
Hands down my favorite pair of Jordans to wear and actually play ball in!! Brings back so many memories from playing in the OG's from high school. Of coarse mine were trashed after wearing them for a whole season. Watched the video and just had to buy a pair and I did. Thanks for the video!!!! Even though it is 7 years old.
This video is wonderful, beyond the shoes which are dope and clean. The memories behind them and all that, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Nightwing.
Great review! Like you said, this shoe brings a lot of great memories. I get goosebumps every time I hear the Bulls music intro. For me, the best intro on all of sports.
The intro to Michael Jordan to the Max with him rocking these same 14s still gives me chills, just like the player intro music. And, once again, great insight on the shoes. #NightwingKnows
This pickup is like a layup for me. Woke up this morning with my money and ready. Took me 10 minutes to copy. My Saturday so far for me is Happy Happy!!!
This was the first Jordan shoe I got. Had them in 4th grade and wore them to the ground. I am no doubt going to cop a pair this weekend. Have had tons of Jordan 14s and other Jordans throughout my life but this colorway and the Laney colorway are my favorite colorways of the 14s since they were the first two colorways of the 14 I got back in the day. Great video though.
Love this colorway! Reminds me of being a kid, late 90's were so much easier to cop whatever you wanted. I think it was great they did this colorway after the Black Toe 13's success! Very comfortable to wear ALL day. Keep up the great reviews bro!
I remember getting these when I was a sophomore in high school. These were my first pair of Jordan's. My parents let me put em on layaway and every now and then I'd ask my dad if we could go put more money towards paying them off. I'll never forget asking to put money down one Saturday afternoon and then hearing my dad tell me we could go ahead and just pay for them that day so I could have them.
Its okay nightwing, I was a 90s baby and wasnt able to get these back in 1998 but I wish I could have so I as well buy retros as a bit of a nostalgic release. I am also glad I can purchase these retros today as I dont think my feet would fit the shoes had I purchased them as a kid in 1998.
I literally just copped these last night at my local finish line and I'm super happy with them. I had to get a size up b/c availability but I actually recommend doing that if you have wider feet.
I’m with you Brotherman! I’m class of 2000. These got stolen from my locker and I saw a bully wearing them after that. It’s all right I will get them 22 years later :-) Love your channel watch it all the time. I’m from Lodi, Sacramento, Stockton, Elk Grove as well :-) Thanks for what you do Brother! Love you and your wife on TH-cam. I make my wife watch you guys with me lol
Middle school, had the 14 in black indiglo. For some odd reason this 14s had stayed in my memory as the best looking shoes I've every purchased and this round of retro color fit I've decided to purchase a few. I must say when you shell out over a 100 dollars for a pair of shoes I have not been happy with the quality of the Thunder colorway since the paint spilled over. However I do like the black and yellow blend. Looks like with the Chilling red (Ferrari) and the black toe 14s Nike has taken a little more care into the quality department.
if the rose 5s weren't coming out i would definitely look into these to hoop in but i have the pure boosts and i know boost is the best thing around right now
Cool to hear the memories of a true sneakerhead about a shoe. Great review NW. The XIV's are so underrated is not even fair. My overall favorite Jordan model, being the Carmine's my grials. PS: I hate IMAX too since I read Chritopher Nolan cut Batmans and Inception movies short to fit IMAX limited playing time.
I was bingeing on your older videos tonight and while watching this one I wondered that if he played the next season, this colorway would have been the regular season home, the white/red would have been the away game colorway, the last shot one of the playoff color, but what would have been the other playoff color? Whatever it would have been should be released as a what if release
I wear size 11 but actually got to try these on in store and all they had was sz 12, tried them on and they fit great for my feet. I have typically wider feet so I'd go a size or half size up for 14s
I would go true to size. I only had have issues with the collar around the ankle ball and the heelcup. But once the leather adapt to your feet they are one of the most comfortable retroes. It's about breaking-in time. My feet ain't too wide though, I've only had pinky issues when the toebox of the sneakers is too narrow, like the VI's.
On Eastbay they describe the shoe as full grain leather. Can you explain that or put a link for that if you did a video about the different leathers. I had my first beer in these shoes, legal beer
From what I was told, US has a lenient definition of full grain. If it's not straight up synthetic, then the U.S. will consider it full grain even though it's actually a split grain. Full grain leather is a little thicker and will show imperfections but split grains canals the Hyde last longer and they're able to cut around most of the imperfections such as vein wrinkles etc. I think there are videos on how leather is treated or manufactured on YT.
Thanks NW. The good qualities of leather have imperfections don't they? I have a expensive couch and it is leather and they say imperfections are part of the character of the couch. And isn't nubuck quality better than suede?
Joe Garner I think suede is the underside of the hyde but unfinished which gives it its hairy look. Most suede is synthetic nowadays. Nubuck is supposed to be nicer as it keeps the hairs in tact. Im pretty sure most nubuck today is also synthetic... at least the top coat is much like leather's PU coat.
Nightwing2303 I found a couple videos and the lady described the differences between top grain and full grain but I didn't understand what top grain is. But she said they sand it down to get the imperfections out and emboss it. Its a little confusing to me but the leather on those red history of Jordan Spizike looks really really good. Is that embossed leather?
I took mine under a black light just for fun and saw how bad the glue job was done on my left shoeo.O but they are awesome, I defiantly like the "onepiece" 14s more then the 14s with the weired upper... btw does anyone know what the 23 and the jumpman in the heel is made of?
could you make a performance review on reebok energy return system.? really like the shoe(something different on the court). btw not intended for casual wear but mainly for playing
Yo, Nightwing2303 Does the finish line shipping overseas? I mean, I live in Poland, and I want to buy a shoe from finishline but I don't know if I can...
2022 , and I’m needing sum of these .

Those are my Favorit Shoes i just Love the way they look...
14 black toe retro 2024
Great vid and dope kicks. Really like these
I remember I bought the OG‘s at the Nike outlet in high school. These would never go to outlet today. Different times!
This video is wonderful, beyond the shoes which are dope and clean. The memories behind them and all that, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Nightwing.
They should release more og color ways of the Jordan 14's
Great review! Like you said, this shoe brings a lot of great memories. I get goosebumps every time I hear the Bulls music intro. For me, the best intro on all of sports.

picked them up this morning and the toebox is insane! Amazing quality for a pair of jordans.
I m the same as you when I hear Bulls intro, GOAT intro, I cant even imagine how pumped I would be if I was playing for the Bulls at that moment:)
I have the OG's from when i was a toddler, definitely a classic to me
This was the first Jordan shoe I got. Had them in 4th grade and wore them to the ground. I am no doubt going to cop a pair this weekend. Have had tons of Jordan 14s and other Jordans throughout my life but this colorway and the Laney colorway are my favorite colorways of the 14s since they were the first two colorways of the 14 I got back in the day. Great video though.
I saw that IMax movie back when Metreon first opened..still the only IMax movie I ever watched
Love this colorway! Reminds me of being a kid, late 90's were so much easier to cop whatever you wanted. I think it was great they did this colorway after the Black Toe 13's success! Very comfortable to wear ALL day. Keep up the great reviews bro!

appreciate the story bro!!! this shoe gives me nostalgia also and gives me flashbacks
Patiently waiting on the retro the prices now are ridiculous
listening to your stories, playing at the open gym every friday night, the kicks mag, they are my stories too! great review
these are my childhood hoop shoes. wont hurt to get them back again to hoop in
just bought these ... love themmm
Had these as a little kid definitely want to get me a new pair
Its okay nightwing, I was a 90s baby and wasnt able to get these back in 1998 but I wish I could have so I as well buy retros as a bit of a nostalgic release. I am also glad I can purchase these retros today as I dont think my feet would fit the shoes had I purchased them as a kid in 1998.

Man U defined what sneakerhead means to me. Back then I tore threw kicks before I outgrew them now I preserve them
I’m with you Brotherman! I’m class of 2000. These got stolen from my locker and I saw a bully wearing them after that.
It’s all right I will get them 22 years later :-)
Love your channel watch it all the time.
I’m from Lodi, Sacramento, Stockton, Elk Grove as well :-) Thanks for what you do Brother! Love you and your wife on TH-cam. I make my wife watch you guys with me lol
great review as always! thanks for all you do nightwing
That shoe does bring back some memories for me as well!! Great pick up sir!!
One of my fav 14s ❤️
Almost 10yrs.
When JB?
When?
This year!
November 2nd 2024
Perfect combination of Nightwing's review and Bull1TRC's on foot 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
got the goosebumps too as u played the bulls intro....
Another thing, you always get people looking at your feet with these, regardless of age! They just don't look like any other sneaker out there.
I have the same sentiments on the 14s (last shot). Memories!
I remember getting these in 2nd grade when they first dropped. They are really nice.
Middle school, had the 14 in black indiglo. For some odd reason this 14s had stayed in my memory as the best looking shoes I've every purchased and this round of retro color fit I've decided to purchase a few. I must say when you shell out over a 100 dollars for a pair of shoes I have not been happy with the quality of the Thunder colorway since the paint spilled over. However I do like the black and yellow blend.

wish i wasnt out the country so I can at least have a chance to try and get them. Great video as always NightWing
Chris, keep up the good work. I love watching ur reviews Cuz ur so on point with these shoes.
Thats is one of my favorite h
Jordan shoes aside to jordan 12 obsidian and jordan 11 apacejam
it does bring back a lot of memories!
Wow I used to have that poster on my wall as a kid too!
Nightwing I hope the next time you're in Chicago visit a bulls game you'll get hella goosebumps
if the rose 5s weren't coming out i would definitely look into these to hoop in but i have the pure boosts and i know boost is the best thing around right now
gr8 video & muzik at the end for "on foot" shots.
The performance tests, where dey at doe
Why dont they do these anymore??
I have that same poster still!!

PS: I hate IMAX too since I read Chritopher Nolan cut Batmans and Inception movies short to fit IMAX limited playing time.
I had those way back in day.
The toe box would crease so bad.
Still a sick shoe though.
Man those shoes are so clean!! Won the raffle for these but they ran too small. Gave em to my Nephew. Cost close to $5bills now, damn
so dope i cant wait to get these

Wonder if these still feel narrow. 14s have always been too narrow for me right in the arch area. It digs into it and kills it for me :(
I wear size 11 but actually got to try these on in store and all they had was sz 12, tried them on and they fit great for my feet. I have typically wider feet so I'd go a size or half size up for 14s

I had them and i sold them. I felt like I was wearing card board boxes on my feet. The last shots are much better in my opinion.
had the same poster, memories
I took mine under a black light just for fun and saw how bad the glue job was done on my left shoeo.O but they are awesome, I defiantly like the "onepiece" 14s more then the 14s with the weired upper... btw does anyone know what the 23 and the jumpman in the heel is made of?
I want these extremely bad - but I was too busy to get any sort of tickets, so I'll probably end up striking out
btw - I have sooo many memories with these as well. probably more memories with these than any other jordans.
They should be easy to get at your local mall. I was able to get 2 pairs easy.
I could have copped you a pair. I got about 3 pair on eastbay and 2 on nike.
These were still on shelves today at my local mall. I couldn't believe it!
Got these on eastbay.com still have pairs G
Man I remember when I was a kid I couldn't afford them... I still cant
Nightwing2303 where did you find the clip where Michael jordan was wearing these in slow motion for the jumpshot wearing the black toe 14's?
Awesome review. U mentioned everything even the imax joint lol
Great vid as always
Great bid as always!
Can't wait to get them :)
These are my first pair of Jays and just like you I had to re-cop. I still ball in my old 14s and they are busted but I dont care lol
could you make a performance review on reebok energy return system.? really like the shoe(something different on the court). btw not intended for casual wear but mainly for playing
What's up with that big ass hand on the Jordan logo in front of the shoe
Did they get the idea for the heel in the jordan xx9 elephant color way from these
The Michael Jordan song is always playing outside the jordan room at my job.
Great video bro!
You getting any of the kd trey 5 II? I would like to see a performance review on those.
Great Review!
Ay NW! Does Endangered LA ship to Canada?
Copped.
can u do a comparison vid on black toe 14 vs oxidized 14
Yo, Nightwing2303 Does the finish line shipping overseas? I mean, I live in Poland, and I want to buy a shoe from finishline but I don't know if I can...
was gonna buy a nintendo wii u and hyrule warriors with the money but screw that... im getting these saturday.
nice shoe,and good video
great review
I wore an 11.5 in the original, should I keep with 11.5?
They dig into my ankle also. Any suggestions?
I have the grey and blue one
That's what jordan's are for:all style

Yes
Hey nightwing im getting the 11 elites should i go half size up?
If you wear a 10, get a 10.
mmhmn! yup.. 7:35-8:37
Dope
which shoe would you buy
KD 5 Trey - China or
Nike Hyperdunk 2014?
For basketball I'd buy the hyperdunks, for casual the kd's.
i got the chinas and they are great for casual wear and amazing for hooping so i would recommend the KD's
KD trey 5 are ball shoes not casual
